Description of the problem	I purchased this car as a "nissan certified" vehicle it had 35000 miles. Thank god i purchased the extended warranty. The wheel bearings,fuel sensor, u joint, fuel gauge, timing chain, and many other small expensive annoyances had to be replaced and were covered on the warranty i bought, but most importantly the engine had to be replaced when i only had 100 miles left on my warranty. I thought i had replaced everything. But then this past june i was sitting in a drive thru and noticed a strong "wet" smell and noticed that my thermostat was buried into the red. I immediately pulled over and this pink ooze started pouring out onto the parking lot ruining the pavement.(the poor owner of the restaurant had to have it re-coated) after having it towed i was told that the coolant had leaked into my transmission. I had the radiator replaced and the transmission flushed 3 times to get out any ooze. Now my transmission is slipping and i have been told by a mechanic that it needs replaced. I still owe 9500 on this car and they want 5000 to replace the transmission. I have started researching on the internet and am finding hundreds of consumers with the same problem and no solution from nissan. I purchased this car to go on vacations with my kids this car has space to move and a dvd to watch. Unfortunately i have never been able to trust this car and have always had to rent cars to go on long distances. If i would have taken this car this summer on vacation my family would have been stuck 800 miles from home and no car to get back. Nissan needs to make this right!
